It actually depends on your site as there are lots of things to consider. For example, if your site is available on multiple domain names, you need a mechanism for telling it which domain is the canonical. Also, if sub sections of your site are available on different domains (which is something I've seen), for examples "news.domain.com" might only contain the news section of a site, then you need to know if the canonical on those pages is news.domain.com or domain.com.
In my opinion, umbracoAlias indicates something that shouldn't be the canonical as it's an "alternative" not a "definitive". But you might have other things in your site that do funky things with urls that you need to consider.
